Virginia Thomas, wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, admitted recently that her decision to call Anita Hill, the woman who had brought forth sexual harassment charges against her husband during his confirmation hearings, was a “mistake.”

In an interview with the Daily Caller, Thomas said that making contact with Hill “was probably a mistake on my part.” She also told the website that her recent decision to step down from her leadership role at Tea Party-linked conservative advocacy group Liberty Central had nothing to do with the admitted indiscretion.
